We use Stripe to accept debit/credit card payments on our e-commerce website. When we first started the company in 2016, I researched different payment solutions companies and Stripe was well-reviewed and had the lowest fees. There was some initial setup but since beginning to use it there has not been any intensive workload to maintain it. One thing we have been able to do that was useful is make use of smart payment options like Google Pay and Apple Pay. There were some initial hoops to jump through to set up but again, it works more or less autonomously after that.

Stripe helps me to allow for online sales, online memberships, and invoices to customers for various products and services within my business. It allows for easy transactions and does stores cards for easy access to recurring invoices for returning customers. Before, I was using different software for invoicing and PayPal for online payments but this software out them into one.

We operate a Shopify eCommerce site and Stripe is one of our payment gateways for this. We required a relatively cost-effective and simple method for capturing payments and, as Stripe is recommended by several other Shopify users, we chose this. We have the other standard methods (Shopify payments and PayPal) and Stripe compliments these nicely and doesn't cause us any problems.

Stripe can make all payment integrations easier and simplify the complexity of understanding how each payment provider works. Being able to standardize flows and integrate with other 'plug and play components, as well as automate several tasks that many startups are not able to perform or have the knowledge to do, is clearly a major advantage of such payment gateways.

We have been using Stripe as the payment method for several of our websites for 5 years now. Stripe is very easy to use, we can very easily embed it on our websites, and the support that we have received when needed has been really good. On top of that, we love it that their app works really well, and we are always informed of what is going on with the financial transactions on our websites with no delays. I recommend everyone to use Stripe.

We initially signed up with Stripe to integrate with our Kajabi accounts. Stripe allows us to set up and maintain subscriptions with clients. It integrates well with multiple Kajabi accounts, bringing the money all into one place. It is very easy to set up and manage. They have competitive rates.

We use Stripe as our primary payment processor for multiple products and services that we offer. We also offer our customers the ability to connect their Stripe accounts in order to process payments with our SaaS products. Stripe helps us provide payment solutions to our customers, and provides payment solutions for our business as well.

I use Storenvy to sell some of my products—Stripe was the way to receive payments. When a customer places an order with me, the money is transferred to stripe, which holds it for a few days before transferring it directly to my bank account. Many customers shop through credit cards online (not just Paypal), and stripe allows customers this flexibility.

We use Stripe as our main payment processor for online payments and payment plans. In our business we sell several small products via websites and Stripe handles those transactions by being connected with our website shopping cart. We also have larger payment plans for professional services and we also use Stripe for handling those plans.

Through Wave Apps, I use Stripe as my primary billing method to collect my monthly web care payments from my clients. I also have it as my primary payment gateway in my client portal powered by Suite Dash. I tend to setup Stripe for my clients primary payment gateways as they are starting use it more over Paypal.

We use Stripe as a payment processor for our e-commerce business. Stripe came about as a super simple method of embedding code into existing e-commerce platforms and apps to allow for a way to accept payments without any trouble. The great thing about Stripe is that it was such a simple product, practically every online platform and every app began allowing for Stripe integration almost right away. Stripe allows us to accept credit card payments of every kind and, importantly, they do an excellent job of weeding out fraudulent charges.

As a social impact digital agency, we used Stripe for client websites, mostly medical membership organizations and charities. Previously, members would pay by bank transfer and the membership secretary would manually approve their memberships on the website. This was inefficient for the organization and caused delays for members to access the medical journal from Wiley.

I am the sole owner of my business and use a software system called Simple Practice. I use Stripe to run my clients' credit card payments through my software system. All of the payments are set up on an autopay system. Go through each night at midnight following their sessions.

Today we are using Stripe for all of our product subscriptions. We are a SaaS company that has a monthly recurring subscription plan with additional add-on products. Stripe has become our source for billing all subscriptions. It is used by anyone in our organization who would need to be setting up subscriptions or products. This is typically finance, sales, onboarding, and support. It addresses the problem of an easy system that is organized when it comes to knowing who and what is being billed each month. Also, it's good at letting us know what is failing.

We offer a variety of online courses and products and we use Stripe to process credit card payments for those products. We have it integrating with our Drupal site, our WordPress site, and with Thinkific. It's our payment processor for B2C sales.

I use Stripe on my website. When people buy a product of my website, they can use PayPal or stripe with their credit card. It has helped create more sales in merch and helped keep me financially organized with online sales. I chose it as Square was not an option for my website sales.

Stripe is used as our primary payment processor for credit cards and ACH/EFT payments or donations (as the back-end processor for both BidPal and Give Lively platforms we are using). It is used by our development, management, and finance departments - development to process gifts, management for reporting, and finance for reporting and reconciliation. It is a good back-end processor that offers very competitive rates to nonprofits with an easy system for getting those rates.

As a start-up, we leverage Stripe to handle payments and invoicing. At the end of each month, we generate invoices and monitor incoming payments together with our accounting software. It is a crucial part of the business since it enables our revenue generation and is used across the whole company.
